Could you be more specific?

Owl Gorythm said we'd be under water by now unless we paid him and his church carbon taxes so he could keep his jet airliner and mansions burning fossil fuels. With that as the case, I know globular warmins is fake news.

Beware anyone who says it's "settled science." I agree that it makes sense on a simplistic level: man started making Co2 en masse on this date, and temperatures started rising from that date. However, the controversies regarding data manipulation, the models that can't predict anything and must constantly be revised, and the obvious political motivations at play should cause one to look deeper. There are far more variables in the equation than just Co2 in the atmosphere.
Here's some recent findings by the Finnish and the Japanese, who hardly rate as "virulent conservative talk show hosts" as one commenter put it:

This is not the way the world works. Despite the outliers we can name, the majority of humanity operates on how much skin they have in the game. Don't be fooled by the bumper stickers and social media postings about saving the whales and rainforest, freeing Tibet, and "going green." Most people express these things to earn social cachet, it's social signaling and it costs exactly nothing. Once it starts costing something, you can expect changes in attitude.

Agreed, if the warmers were serious they'd be offing themselves en mass. Or at least crouching in caves and living off air and water alone.

I'm sorry, no I can't.
